tl;dr is pretty overrated too tbh
Overrated is a nothing thing to say
he's frequently wrong and tries to pass off opinion as fact
but people ignore it and talk about how he's always on point
A lot of times, he is
Dude built his career on it
he even fell for the "RL activism is cringe" meme
But he's been slipping up a ton
And he went full retard after sargon joined UKIP
tbh the problem is less slipping up and more the ego that comes with it
Sleep
Slego*
I think the problem is a lot of these channels built themselves up on soft targets
and are now struggling with more difficult issues
wrong
I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and cant sleep
opposite problem
slep 2 erly
I remember when the *angry video nerd* dropped a video calmly explaining that he was not going to watch the new Ghostbusters, then a bunch of people raged at him for doing that. But instead of snapping at people, he just went on with his merry business
I still dont really care about most of his stuff, but he seems nice enough
but yeah, theres quite a number of yt channels that got big off of dunking on idiot journos and bluehairs, and some of them are now quite adept at it
and yet there is never any saturation on the market
strangely enough
but as the set of relevant issues changes and groups solidifies, theyre having a hard time keeping up
and some of them have built up enough that they've developed egos, or financial dependencies, and they're losing sight of their principles
ouf
yup
Jim of 2014 would call current Jim a drama whore faggot over a good chunk of the shit he's done, for a low hanging fruit example
I think Sargon of yesteryear would take some of his current day actions to task as well tbh
AVGN is great
Red Letter media is great
ye
RLM is fantastic
Ashens too
I cant think of any other classic channels that haven't jumped the shark, or died
nostalgia critic?
jontr- oh wait, he ded
Nostalgia Critic was okay and then got worse over time
and TGWTG is a shitshow of a site lol
